this week during prime day sales take a moment and think about what you need, how quickly you need it, and where you might be able to get it in your community! It’s surprisingly easy to boycott the crummiest company on earth and there’s no shortage of great reasons to try start trying

I WEPT WHEN I PICKED UP MY ORDER I THOUGHT IT WAS REMOVABLE
A hand holds a paperback copy of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. The cover is black with bold, jagged yellow letters spelling "Frankenstein" vertically and horizontally in fragmented blocks. A green, muscular, nude male figure is illustrated across the cover in a twisted pose, with body parts segmented by the letters. A red Netflix logo with the words “A Netflix Film” appears in the middle of the cover. Text at the top reads “The 1818 Text.” The spine mentions an introduction by Jeanette Winterson. The person holding the book has dark-painted nails, a silver ring, and visible tattoos on their wrist.

Books Beyond Bars is a local collective involved in prison justice and abolition work in Kjipuktuk/Halifax, NS. As a books-to-prisoner initiative, Books Beyond Bars goes into the women’s section of the Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility in Burnside three times monthly to improve access to books, writing, and literature for people who are incarcerated. Since 2005 Books Beyond Bars has and continues to: Distribute books and writing journals in a book exchange program, Collect writing, artwork and poetry for a zine, and now a book, called Words Without Walls, Facilitate a “Read Aloud” program through which we record folks inside reading children’s books and then send the book and recording to their children outside, Organize writing and poetry workshops, both at Burnside and the Nova Institute for Women in Truro. Mission Books Beyond Bars operates with the belief that the prison system is fundamentally flawed. Sending people to prison does not address the social and economic issues that lead to people’s incarceration: poverty, abuse, trauma, addiction, etc. We visit the women’s prisons in NS to break down barriers between folks who are caught in an unjust system and those of us on the outside involved in prison justice issues.

head to kingsbookstore.ca/gift-cards and mention the Books Beyond Bars program in the comments and you’ll be helping us get books and notebooks into the women’s unit of the Burnside jail where they’re needed <3
